find out what finance company has title over the car , ring them get them to send you a final pay out figure , pay out the insurance company , they assign the title to you , pay the remainder to the current owner

or

ask the owner to pay it out and get a letter stating the car is freehold and pay the owner the total amount

hmmm so there isn't a site that i can go to and it'd tell me all the info i want aye :P?

mmm

alright

ill see wha ti can do

cheers

CHi

just get the engine/VIN number and registration and call REVS

http://www.revs.nsw.gov.au/buyguide/private.htm

they will let you know there is money owing etc and you basically have to write two checks and proceed as arkon stated. make sure the car is under your name before handing any cheques over i.e perform transfer of car/money in a bank where eventually everybodys got peace of mind and nobody can get screwed. Oh and call revs back and make sure its out of their list. good luck

BTW give us details of the car u r speaking of, maybe forum ppl know it

I got burnt by this once.... DEFINITELY ring REVS... and as the others said you write out a cheque to her finance company and the rest to her.

Even if the amount of the car is LESS than the amount she owes, the finance company will still release the encumberance on the car if the cheque is written out to them.

REVS will advise you on how to proceed anyway so take their advice.

Although - I wouldn't suggest doing Arkon's 2nd suggestion, as I did this and the guy nicked off to the UK and my car was repossesed because he didnt pay out the loan. But it was the letter that enabled me to charge him with fraud and get my car back. BUT you don't want to go down this path... Trust me... it was messy.

yeah its the white one on antilag for 10k im just buyinig this for my brother for his L plates and yeah hehe don't wanan like get scammed or nothing mmm so ring revs and they'll tell me what to do ? i got her Vin/Rego Number but no engine number sooo can i still perform this check cheers

Cheers

Ring REVS and find out? 1300 304 024

The Western Australian REVS site is https://bizline.docep.wa.gov.au/revs/

Go to this link and you can do your own search

https://bizline.docep.wa.gov.au/revs/public...ch.cfm?search=1

Although the online search just tells you it is encumbered. You still need to ring to find out the other details.

You need rego, VIN, Engine number.

Anyone else need spoon feeding?
